The 40th annual Yukon Young Authors’ Conference will take place April 30-May 1, 2020 in the FH Collins’ Secondary Learning Commons.
As well as working with young authors, each visiting writer will do a reading at the school on Thursday and Friday (April 30 and May 1, 2020) which is open to students and the public who wish to attend.
The conference will cost each student $10.00 to help cover the cost of food over the two days. Schools are responsible for this fee. Lunch will be provided as well as juice, coffee, fruit and cookies for breaks each morning and afternoon.
Each student participant will receive a portfolio containing a copy of the manuscripts submitted by all students in his or her group, a pen and paper.
